    I too saw it when cruising the list. It looks darned uncomfortable imo. To each their own though. At 6'1" I couldn't imagine my knees being stuck into my chest with that seating and foot lever position. What is that, like 2 inches forward of the seat for the foot controls?

    I would possibly spend 2500 on a complete Seca 2 with a safety certificate. I would not spend that on 3/4 of a Seca.

    In order to license any vehicle, it needs to pass a safety inspection by a certified mechanic. Basic stuff like brakes and lights. Not really a guarantee of quality, but at least it ensures that the bike has been inspected by a pro and it's ready to go.

    In good old WI they just ask if it has the GOV sticker on it, that is it. No way paying that for the bike...is that rust on the tank or a custom color?

    I look at that tank and I think someone said "ooh, heat the metal up for some cool effects", then said let's bondo the dents and just leave it bondo color. Real nice. The green grips say it all!

    This guy wasn't kidding when he said "hoon machine" I guess. Definitely cool but maybe not $2500 cool.

    Well I gotta tell you there's not much kids, and older guys alike, wont throw wrenches and money at around here. Of course I wouldn't dare mangle up my bike, hogfiddles and stumplifter would have me hanging by my toenails before I got a chance to pick up the sawzall!
